Early in the morning, the Junen Empire, the princess sleeps.

Before dawn, Julius prepared Maria's civilian clothes, ready to follow the cooks out of the palace as she had done yesterday.

Lucia, the maid who was tying the princess's hair on the side, was so distracted that Maria's hair was scattered.

"Lucia, what's wrong with you? You were very strange when I came back to see you yesterday, did something happen, and your hands are better now?" asked Maria, looking at her maid, frowning.

"I'm sorry, Princess Maria, but I re-tied you. Lucia frantically gathered Maria's hair and tied it back quickly, but the panicked eyes and expressions made Maria and the other maid, Julis, a little worried.

"Lucia, can you tell me, and how did you hurt your arm? I know you're not going to lie to me, are you?"

"I'm sorry, Princess Maria, please forgive me, I promised someone else and can't say it. Lucia said sadly as she looked at Maria.

"Well, well, since you don't want to say it, then I won't force you, but, promise me, if anything is difficult, you must tell me. Okay Lucia. Maria said as she looked seriously at Lucia in the mirror.

Lucia looked at the young and beautiful Maria in the mirror, nodded "um", and felt even more sad.

At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far from the door, and Maria turned to look at the door.

A middle-aged maid appeared at the door, and Maria recognized that it was Emily, the personal maid beside her mother, Queen Sandra, and respectfully saluted Maria and said, "Princess Maria, Her Royal Highness invites you to come to her bed." ”

"Okay, Emily, I'll go over here. Maria glanced at the middle-aged maid and replied.

Emily, the middle-aged maid, nodded, turned and walked out.

Seeing Emily leave, Maria was a little alarmed, she looked at her two maids and asked, "Why does Mother want to see me at this time?

Lucia's expression tightened, she wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.

The other maid, Julis, frowned and was a little worried, but she still spoke out to comfort her: "Princess Maria, things are not so bad, maybe Her Royal Highness just wants to talk to you, at this time, Her Royal Highness should have just woken up, maybe she is still in bed." ”

Hearing Julis's words, Maria was still a little flustered, but she was a little better. Lucia quickly tied Maria's hair, and Maria glanced at the casual clothes in the corner of the dresser, felt a little sad, and got up to put on the off-white princess silk robe under the service of Lucia and Julis.

Dressed, the two maids followed Maria out of the room to the queen's bedchamber.

It was clear that the palace was very busy, and on the way to the queen's bedchamber, there were guards and some maids saluting Maria from time to time, and Maria smiled and saluted them one by one, and after a while, she walked to the door of the queen's bedchamber.

Lucia and Julius gave Maria a look of encouragement, and then stood quietly at the door of the dormitory, watching Maria walk into the dormitory.

"Is there anything going on with Princess Maria?" Lucia asked Julis, worried.

Julius glared at her angrily and said, "What are you thinking?" Lucia, Her Royal Highness is Princess Maria's biological mother. ”

Lucia felt that she had said the wrong thing, so she stopped talking and looked worriedly at the door of the dormitory.

Maria walked into the queen's bedroom, Queen Sandra sat quietly in the tea room of the bedroom, and when she saw Maria, Queen Sandra's face showed a kind and warm smile, and she smiled and beckoned to Maria: "Come here, my child." ”

When Maria saw Queen Sandra's smile, the uneasiness in her heart was swept away, and she bowed obediently and shouted, "Mother." ”

Maria, who was much calmer, walked up to Queen Sandra, sat down beside her, looked at Queen Sandra and asked, "Mother, why did you call Maria here so early today?"

Queen Sandra smiled warmly and said to her, "If I don't call you earlier, I will go to your bedroom later, and I won't find you." ”

Hearing Queen Sandra's words, knowing that she meant something, Maria obediently did not speak, and sat and waited for Queen Sandra's lecture.

"Maria, you are 20 years old this year, you know, I was married to your father when you were so old, at that time your father had not yet become the lord of the king's grace, at that time your grandfather Bradric had three sons, your father was the second, before I married him, he was also known as the most romantic prince of the monarch's empire. Time flies, and you're all so old in a blink of an eye. Queen Sandra said slowly, picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, hot red tea poured from the spout into the teacup, and soon the porcelain white teacup was filled with beautiful tea.

Queen Sandra picked up the teacup and sniffed the tea gently, took a small sip slowly, then blew the tea in the teacup, and took another sip before slowly putting down the teacup.

Maria watched Queen Sandra put down the teacup, obediently picked up the teapot and filled the teacup with some tea, and then put down the teapot and looked at Queen Sandra.

"Your father, like your grandfather, had three sons, but your grandfather had three daughters, and your father had only one daughter. You are not the same as your three older brothers, you will marry out, marry the person to whom your heart loves, to whom your heart belongs. Maria, have you ever thought about what the man you like in the future will look like?" said Queen Sandra softly to Maria.

Queen Sandra's words made Maria's heart "thump", thinking of the upright and kind figure in the bazaar, and the fearless, pious and confessional gaze on the stone platform of the judgment hall, and the grim face with heavy steps and shaved hair in the confession corridor.

"I hope that in the future I will marry a knight of integrity, kindness, and bravery. Maria plucked up the courage to answer Queen Sandra's words, and when she had said that, she felt very shy, and only felt that her face was hot.

"Hehehehehe. Queen Sandra laughed happily when she heard Maria's words.

"Every knight in the Junn Empire is upright, kind, and brave, except for the 'Red Wing Knight' Bobilis Lot, who was tried a few days ago, do you say yes? Queen Sandra looked at Maria with a smile.

When Maria heard Queen Sandra's words, her eyes instantly turned red, and her whole person trembled slightly, and with a crying voice, she looked directly into Queen Sandra's gaze and said: "Mother, I believe that Knight Bobilis is an upright, kind and very brave knight......!"

"I love Knight Bobilis, I love him!" said Maria, who burst into tears.

After listening to Maria's words, Queen Sandra's eyes slowly warmed, and she took Maria's hand with pity and patted her gently: "I know, my dear child." ”

Hearing Queen Sandra's words, Maria could no longer hold back her emotions and threw herself into Queen Sandra's arms and cried out "woo-woo-woo-woo.......

Queen Sandra gently touched Maria's head.
